The tour ends with a tasting of local wines, honey, and liqueurs, giving you a taste of the flavours of this volcanic landscape.

Thought the whole thing was great

Fabrizio was brilliant, very friendly and very knowledgeable. We felt very looked after.

Onze gids Raji was een topper! Vertelde veel leuke dingen en de omgeving was prachtig. Wij vonden de omschrijving in de TUI app wel algemeen en hadden daarom nog wel hier en daar een langere hike verwacht. Ik zou deze tour bijvoorbeeld 30€ waard vinden, stel je zou echt nog hiken zeker 60€!

This was a a great visit and Giorgio, our guide was very good and also kind

Kevin the guide was fabulous However the minivan was really uncomfortable for 7 people and the ones in the very back were cramped and car sick

Ottima visita molto interessante e la guida fabrizio è stato molto bravo e gentilissimo.Alla fine è stata una bellissima esperienza peccato aver perso i soldi della prima prenotazione...
